So that was for my spare. I’m planning on getting a new axle and servicing the current wheels. I’ll just get a different wheel for the spare. Thanks everyone.

I have a 2002 185 pro with a 150 mercury xr6. It’s been a great boat. Handles rough / big water well. It’s been a great boat so far. I be had it for 5 years now.

Bump

So I have a 2002 pro craft 185 and I hit a fence post last week and ruined my wheel. I’ve been searching the internet to find a replacement for the wheel but I can’t find a match anywhere. Anybody have any suggestions?

They won't fit....

Planning on getting some Trojan scs200's tomorrow!

Any recommendations on the best D27 batteries with the most reserve capacity?

I think there is some confusion with the link I posted. You are right the first battery spec is a cranking battery. My batteries are the next one on the following page (D27).

No bad smells. They are warm when on charge.

OK, so I am fairly new to boat ownership. I bought my boat a little over a year ago. When I bought it, I installed a NOCO (three bank charger....see below link for more details). The charger for the most part has been great. About a year ago (last May) my cranking battery went out on me. A friend had one that he gave me to use. Nice Exide battery (see below for more details). I have had zero problems with this battery. It has been great!! No problems whatsoever. About 6 months ago my deep cycle trolling motor batteries went out on me so I replaced them with Optima AGM batteries (see below link for details). These have worked well in most of my tournaments.... but yesterday my trolling motor was DONE and we still had a hour and half left in the tournament..... It was really aggravating....so I have realized that I must be doing something wrong. So here is my charging process... After every use of the boat, I plug in my NOCO charger and usually by the next morning I have green lights on the charger....which is supposed to signify a full charge. I then unplug it and plug it back in the morning before a tournament and I always have green lights on the morning of a tournament. Yesterday morning I thought I noticed a weak charge early because some of the speeds didn't feel right and that was early in the morning (7AM). We fished hard all morning and ran the trolling motor pretty hard so I understand it being worn down....but it didn't seem right to start the day....and it was pretty much dead at 1:30PM So I am not really sure what happened.... My thoughts... 1 - Could have just been a weak charge, but it has never happen before... 2 - Is it ok to have my three bank charger hooked up to 2 AGM batteries and one lead based battery?? Is this having a negative effect on my AGM batteries?? Should I charge them on separate chargers? If so, what do I do with the other bank for the 3 bank charger? 3 - Is my NOCO charger working properly? Should I just leave it plugged in all them time?? Some people have advised me to leave it plugged in all the time? I really don't know, but I would be greatly disappointed if these Optima AGM batteries will not last me a full tournament day on the water with me running the trolling motor hard. Any advice would be appreciated.

I need some help with these units. I have fished with them for almost a year, but I need some help dialing them in to capture the right amount of detail. On the 999 I need help dialing in my side imaging. I like to fish ledges but have had a hard time locating fish. On the 859 I just want the sensitivity accurate. My down imaging picks up a gold picture but my sonar seems off I am sure there is much more I can do with these units that I am not doing. Any help with these units would be greatly appreciated.

I am considering getting a new tackle bag. Has anybody here have any good suggestions? I have the old falcon fto bag which I love, but I have outgrow it.

Anybody here have one? Like it? Any opinions appreciated. Thx

I have always been curious about the crawfish clacker, but just can't seem to find many people that have fished it....

Anybody seen this rig? How do you rig the middle section? Looks sweet!
